"Leipzig"

Stay Positive Industries

Artists:

Although Matt Farthing once said his band Stay Positive couldn't exist without his collaborators, the London-based producer and classically trained violinist seems to be doing just fine on his own. “Leipzig” is the second listen off his forthcoming Blood Brother EP (out July 1 via Stay Positive Industries) and another perfectly arranged exercise in minimal techno. Unlike last month’s “You Hate Me”, however, here the vocal samples mostly take a backseat to Farthing’s moody four-on-the-floor thump. During the ghostly break, an ominious sample creeps in (“Everything’s a problem”) before the words are quickly sucked back into the swirl.
